Virals

Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, leads a ragtag band of teenage sci-philes who live on a secluded island off South Carolina. Rescuing a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island exposes them to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that changes their lives forever.

Reichs has written fourteen books in the Temperance Brennan series, all New York Times bestsellers, including Code, her third novel for young readers (www.viralstheseries.com).

Brendan Reichs (www.brendanreichs.com) was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He graduated from Wake Forest University in 2000 and The George Washington University School of Law in 2006.
